Oh, I see. Yeah, it's possible. Here's an example from one of my
Python projects:
circle = mapscript.symbolObj('circle')
circle.type = mapscript.MS_SYMBOL_ELLIPSE
circle.filled = mapscript.MS_TRUE
line = mapscript.lineObj()
line.add(mapscript.pointObj(1,1))
circle.setPoints(line)
circle.sizex = 1
circle.sizey = 1
mo.symbolset.appendSymbol(circle)
The "mo" name is bound to a mapObj. It's very important to get sizex
and sizey right, should be the width and height of the symbol in the
same units as the point and line coordinates used to construct the
symbol.
To use this symbol
style.symbol = mo.symbolset.index('circle')
Translate this into C# and you should be good to go.
cheers,
Sean

Hi Sean-
Is there a way to accomplish this with MapScript? All I see is a
way to
set the symbolset.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Julien-
Thanks for your response. Here are the contents of the symbol file:
SYMBOLSET
SYMBOL
NAME 'circle'
TYPE ELLIPSE
POINTS 1 1 END
FILLED TRUE
END
END
The problem I'm having is intermittent and I can't reliably reproduce
it. My only thought was that for some reason mapscript couldn't read
the file. Is there any way to embed these symbols directly in the
mapfile instead of referencing the symbolset file?
Thanks,
Chris
Yes, just add any SYMBOL block as a child of the top-level map.
